The 5 Stupidest Technology Questions Ever Googled

#2. Can You Make a Lot of Money Reading Emails?

You bet you can. The catch is that you have to find the right ones to read. Just reading your own emails probably doesn't pay much, but if you can figure out how to access your boss' email or the email of someone famous, then you can make piles of money. The trick is to know what you're looking for. You may have to read through hundreds of emails, but you'll know you're done when you find any combination of these words:

Prostitute

Embezzlement

Extortion

Addiction

Amphetamine

Affair

Murder

From there, the money part just locks into place. You don't even have to keep doing the job after that, and you'll still get paid. Remember that sometimes important people will try to trash those emails, but if that addiction hunch pans out, they probably aren't thinking clearly enough to empty their deleted items folder. See, for all the bad things that technology puts you through, it turns out there are at least some paying jobs out there if you understand it pretty good.

#1. What Inventions Haven't Been Made?

Great question. I like where your head is at. It's pretty unlikely that technology will ever stop, so it's smart to get on the train early and invent some stuff that will pay out in the long run. Fortunately, there are still a lot of things we humans have always needed but that no one has had the time to make yet. Here are a few I think about almost every day:

- Special glasses that let you see which animals have souls and which ones don't. If that doesn't pan out, then one that just works for birds.

- Glow in the dark magazines.

- A secret translator for bird calls so you can tell if they're just pretending to sing and really laughing at you.

- A fork that's a fork on one end and a toothbrush on the other.

- A remote control bird that can fly and tricks real birds into flying through wind turbines.

- A goose scooper.

Really, if you invent just one of these things, you can probably make millions and be remembered forever. But if you were thinking about trying to make a hummingbird feeder that attracts lightning, you can forget it, because that idea is taken.
